Chevrolet / Chevy Aveo. The city car.


The first impression of Chevy Aveo. Everything is decent. The design, tyres, front view, back view are decent looking. Even the fuel consumption is economically decent. The price is decent too. Thus, no doubt a good, suitable car for a novice driver who wish to get a hand on a new chevy but lost in choices. Even if you are not a novice driver, but are badly bitten by the global economy crisis, this is also a suitable car to put into your consideration list, based on their excellent fuel economy, and affordable basement price. Although it gives a comfy ride, it is not advisable to speed with this car, as it lack some safety features.
